it doesnt have the original bolt or barrel. but the cams match and appear unmessed with. I know that the feed tray is either a field update or later, as it is later than the date of the gun manufacture. The only question I had was the finish on the gun- original? anyone have any thoughts? there is absolutely no wear anywhere on this gun.

Gun looks refinished to me..........too "uniform" of a finish.
Post some clear photos of the cam-area (w/markings)....to top-rear of the receiver.......and of the left-rear markings on the receiver.

What is the stamped marking on the top of the receiver near (or just in front of) the cam-piece (?).

Whether it was refinished or not is no big deal... but unfired by its current owner ? Where's the fun in that ?!
